[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 14713477, member: 5905"] Reminds me of when I TRIED to go in in 72. end of Vietnam and no waivers given for anything since the draft was still going. My draft number was like 289 or something like that ... no chance was I getting drafted so I took the ASVAB my Sr year of HS and got a 98 on it. I had all those jokers talking to me I wanted AF since we have a family history there. it was great .. till they asked how bad my eyes were and how flat my feet were ... then it was thanks but no thanks LOL. Navy was my 2nd choice. OP - there is little question that you brother could benefit from the Military, I have two nephews that were much like him. One wen AF and is still going great guns. he just needed the structure provided and he took off. his resume stank, and he had a GED. My other nephew graduated top of his USMC boot camp class. two weeks after graduating he got wrapped up at a cocaine party. good thing his CO liked him because he got booted on an OTH rather than the Dishonorable he deserved. As far as the pussification of the military I think it is a problem and will get worse. I spent 8 years in Iraq and working on my 3rd here in Afghanistan I have seen the difference in the Soldiers over that time. some of it is not pretty. [/QUOTE]
